+ Humility is more than an
essential spiritual practice. It is an
essential attribute of holiness,
of heavenliness. The teachers of the great wisdom traditions
emphasize being humble over and over again.
It is an attitude which makes it likely that you will see every person
including yourself, indeed every creature, as divine and absolutely neither
inferior nor superior. When we are humble, we can see clearly.

The essential
spiritual practices of stillness
and detachment lay the
foundation for the practice of humility
which makes it possible to live according to the Golden Rule: “Treat others the
way you want to be treated.”
